Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Steven Robinson's strongest measure is touchdowns per game at 1.1, 20th of 299 (the average is 0.5). His weakest is yards per carry at 4.5, 197th of 299 (the average is 5.1).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His rush yards per game, 80, ranks 28th among 299 ranked running backs.
Against every running back
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of running back he is. Among ranked running backs he sits, on average, in the 83rd percentile for volume, 63rd for efficiency and 66th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 9 games, Steven Robinson's best came in week 8 against Louisiana and his quietest in week 4 at Tulane.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Steven Robinson is 50th of 299 FBS running backs and 3rd of 31 in the Sun Belt. Next up nationally is Connor Walendzak of Toledo, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Running backs like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Joseph Williams of Holy Cross.
